My dad in recovery and home from hospital. TY for supports!
2 months ago
Heyo to my friends and watchers here on FA. Welcome to Colin's journal! Im here to announce for updates, life events and rarely tag journal meme. ^.=.^
Good news, after a week my dad was in hospital ICU to appendix ruptured and major infections all over it. He is in good recovering and out of health crisis for now. He's discharged from hospital and is at home so my mom and I can relax back to almost normal life. It was stressful experience and worried if he will make it after saw him on not so good vitals. I'm now relieved he's alive and well which is a good thing we brought him to hospital on time after a month of unwell feeling. He still have a drainage bag to deal with for another 3 weeks to ensure all toxic fluids are out and will have to take care of it daily for cleaning to replacing bandages. It will be hard for him to deal with it for a lil more longer, several appointments, eating less but stable, and will be given him with one of two options on what to do with his already ruptured appendix from surgeon next month or two. Thank you so much to doctors and nurses who took amazing care for my dad; they're so important in our lives when we needed them in case of health emergency. It wouldn't be possible if it weren't for them!
Since I took almost 2 weeks off from work which happened to be the last weeks of the school year and not getting paycheck because of my work is substitute (I'm educational assistant; not a teacher) which is not covered in paid leaves. I had to do it during heath emergency to focus on dad and helping mom in transportation to stores for necessities. It's more important than work and I'm getting an employment insurance in about 2 weeks from now. I decided to set up optional donation from my previous journal with my paypal link (http://paypal.me/TheDeafDragon and I'm not in money emergency; it just community supports to donate or not at all if they desires to. Words of support is still more hugely appreciated!) that helps to fill in or recover worth of 2 weeks of my lost paycheck and to my surprise I reached so close to $400. I believe it's more than just enough for the next two weeks or less. Some to most of those will goes toward necessities, gas for my van, and cafe/restaurant inside hospital I already spent during my visits there. Will figures it out what to do with the remaining balance after I pays those off first.
Again, thank you all for wishes, donations, and all kinds of supports! I felt so loved and supported from this amazing community on FA to Bluesky, etc. *big muscle hugs you all* <3

It's the case of style of surgery with options for my dad is surgically remove appendix or leave it on (it's already opened which is no longer threat to life because toxic fluids was stored there and is all are being drained out). If I recall.
Procedures? That I do not know at all until my dad meets with surgeon appointment next month. Lots of planning and options because my dad have so many scars in his body due to past surgeries including recent one that removed most of spleen/pancreas 5 years ago.
Not at the moment until their meeting next month.
